A £400 pully mod- would get the Ford GT to 215mph ! - so it does look like a performance bargain against a Murcie LP640 at £200k!

I've discovered I can add a Ford GT to my fleet for more or less what it's going to cost me to chop in my Murci for an LP640! (and I really don't think there's enough justification to swap the Murcie for the LP640)

As awesome as the LP640 is it's not going to be THAT MUCH different from the standard car really, I would probably want something different too.

I'd guess for simons business there is a certain caché with having the latest and the greatest cars ..... so not entirely a decision based on the ability of the car?

You are right of course. But I can't help thinking that my heart rules my head when it comes to V12 Lambo's. A Ford GT would possibly be a better bet business wise. But I just love me Lambo's
